South Peak
New England's newest terrain, Loon South Peak 2,450-ft. summit, is accessed by the Lincoln Express Quad from the base of South Peak, or the Tote Road Connector Quad, located at the junction of Upper Bear Claw, Upper Speakeasy and Exodus on the main mountain. From the summit of South Peak, look west to Mt. Moosilauke, look north to Cannon Cliffs, Mt. Lafayette and Franconia Notch, look down to the town of Lincoln, where one feels like he or she may just ski right onto Main Street.
Three options down South Peak include two groomed runs with snowmaking—Crusier and Boom Run, or the gladed trail, Undercut. Head to skier's right for Boom Run. The wide expanse of the summit narrows at the ledges as Boom Run turns into a classic New England ski trail with twists, turns and intermediate steeps before the run out back to the base. Head to skier's left for Cruiser. First cut in 1996, many locals have been poaching fresh powder on this trail over the years. The terrain is wide open, and this trail will have the best afternoon light.
